MURAL  is an app that provides a digital workspace for visual collaboration. Using this app, teams can think and collaborate visually by quickly creating diagrams.

With Asana for Microsoft Teams, you can stay connected and organized, no matter where you’re working.

9. Trello

Trello is everyone’s favorite project management tool that organizes projects into boards, just like a timeline. Trello lets you know what’s being worked on, what stage the project is on, and who’s working on it. Within Teams, Trello functions just like a whiteboard, filled with a list of sticky notes (known as cards). You can add information, links, attachments, photos, and more types of files to give your team clear instructions on how to go about completing the task in an efficient manner.

10. Microsoft Flow

Microsoft Teams Flow automates all your mundane tasks by integrating your apps and services within it. So for example, every time a new employee joins the company email group, Flow can send a pre-written, automatic, welcome message from your side to your employees. You can also create multiple flows, and manage and review them through an app on your mobile phone.
